I remember feeling the same early on, idk as time goes on i just gradually ended up feeling like just me and not either gender particularly, maybe when I start hrt ill start to feel like a girl and not just like I'm not a man and vaguely girl-like, idk <3
Damn, o7 to your admins and mods for keeping the site running in that case, hope they're able to modify it at some point
Ngl it's kind of got me nostalgic to remember how shit hexbear used to run back in the day, way before Lemmy actually took off as a thing, like upvotes didn't work, all posts and comments >3 months old were hidden, and in the even earlier days /pol/ and donald.win users used to ddos the site repeatedly and try to dox admins, also we had an ongoing feud with some random irrelevant radical TERF message board that tried to brigade hexbear and miserably failed after some important person in the Australian TERF movement started tweeting about hexbear doing anti-cis bigotry lmao
It's cool that you've got pronouns in your username, does blahaj.zone have the functionality to add them like a user flair like we have on hexbear or did you have to manually enter it into the username thing?
Americans have utterly memory holed the fact that their soldiers brutally murdered, mutilated and gang raped hundreds of unarmed women and children and that the only consequences were that the commander who personally murdered 22 people received just 3 and half years house arrest. Some of the people who did this are still alive and walk free despite having committed some of the most unthinkable evils against civilians with impunity and have been explicitly pardoned by the US government.
This crime is far worse than Tiananmen (which has estimates of a death toll between 200 to ~500 with the CPC putting the estimate at 300 including dead Chinese soldiers and police) on its own but it's not taught in schools, even in the history of the Vietnam war (despite the role Hersh's exposé played in helping to sway public perception against the war) and many Americans have no idea it ever happened.
We are explicitly anti liberalism given that it supports an inherently discriminatory economic system (capitalism).
I'm a bisexual trans girl whose found this space to be the most accepting space I've ever been in on the internet (including many exclusively trans spaces).
Also many of us are not as pro China as we seem from the outside, I'm a lot more critical of china than many of the other hexbear users and we have a decent number of anarchists who post here, however we close ranks against imperialist narratives pushing for a right wing coup of the Chinese government because regardless of our differing ideologies we all agree that would be awful for the Chinese people.
Ah yes, bots who've mostly spent one or more years just talking entirely insularly with each other about things of interest, and just random general stuff, like my account literally has pictures of me on it, and just discussions about questioning my gender or books I've been reading recently or films I like as well as like political discussion. This isn't even my first account, I've had like 2 or 3 previous ones that a forgot the password to and so just made a new one because I could never be bothered to use a password manager. And the vast majority of users from here I recognise from seeing posting in threads about their mental health, or memes, or the weekly queer discussion thread we have, or getting into dumb struggle sessions about inane shit like little libraries or outdoor cats or stacking rocks (don't ask)
Also I'm in discords with like several dozen of them and mutuals on mastodon with dozens and dozens more. point is, we're all real, we just all post and have basically no lurkers so we have a disproportionate level of influence on Lemmy.
If you have no problem with communists and you have a problem with authoritarianism you may wish to read this short essay by Friedrich Engels, one of the most important communists in history, on the matter: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm
Fucked up that I still don't know where Ohio is
It's in the top right corner right?
